Students investigate the multitude of environmental elements that contribute to the development of the personality or the “self.” Humans are born into a preexisting world of social demands and expectations, and so each person’s entry into and journey through that world shapes the personality in many ways; the individual journey takes place in the midst of social forces over which one has little or no control. This course provides an understanding of the balance between the internal workings of individuals and the external forces surrounding them. Prerequisite: WO 1060 Philosophy of Art + Design
